Chemical peels can be performed at various depths to achive a variety of desired results. Typically a deeper peel involves more peeling, for a longer period of time and result in more correction. Although deeper peels may be needed to address specific concerns, light peels have their place too. Extremely superficial peels, do not require any down time, and there is generally not any actual peeling skin. Light peels work by excelerating skin cell turn over in the upper most layer of the skin and are typically well tolerated, even by those with very sensitive skin. Superficial peels smooth skin texture, reduce congested pores to clarify skin and brighten dull sallow skin.

The Epionce “Lite Peel:Refresh”, designed by the well respected dermatologist, Carl R. Thornfeldt, M.D., is gentle enough for almost all skin types, including those with rosacea, acne, hyper pigmentation, sensitive skin even peri-oral dermatitis. The Epionce Refresh peel is unique with its key ingredient being Malic Acid, an AHA that not only increases skin cell turnover, it enhances hydration and reduces surface bacteria. Willow bark is a key botanical in the Refresh peel, that is anti-bacterial, reduces inflammation and improves skin clarity. This lunch time peel is also formulated with a little Salicylic acid to boost penetration and further enhance results. Onion bulb extract has anti-inflammatory properties and is added to sooth and calm skin. The Refresh peel may be repeated as often as every 2 weeks in a series of 3-6 peels, or it may be combined with other in-office treatments to enhance results.
